New York, New York – November 4, 2014– Manhattan Edit Workshop (MEWShop), the cutting-edge authorized digital training destination for post-production and content creators, is pleased to announce the debut of its new DSLR Video Fundamentals Workshop series. Students of all skill levels can immerse themselves in these new intensive courses covering the latest techniques in shooting, accessories, and proven DSLR workflow solutions. MEWShop instructor Chad Anderson will lead students through hands-on exercises and demonstrate key concepts such as exposure, lighting, lenses, interview techniques, and audio recording.

“As the demand for quality media continues to grow more and the barrier of entry continues to drop, more people are choosing a DIY approach to filmmaking. Our new DSLR Video Workshops are a great way to learn how to shoot great video on a budget.” says Josh Apter, Owner and Founder, Manhattan Edit Workshop. “These new classes give people the technical foundation and confidence they need in the field.”

In the second part of our DSLR Video series, students build on the techniques from our Fundamentals of DSLR Video: Part I. Students learn the basics of lighting, set-up and direction for interviews, and preparation for editorial.

Through demonstration and hands-on exercises with audio interfaces, mixers and microphones students will build the basic skills for recording and delivering high-quality audio in both interior and exterior environments.
